Accelerate your start-up business by joining NovaUCD’s successful and thriving community of entrepreneurs.

NovaUCD is located in a magnificent mid-18th century house formerly known as Merville House. NovaUCD is a purpose-built state-of-the-art incubation facility which was designed specifically to facilitate the development of a community of entrepreneurs.
